So fresh. Love that they're made to order. We ordered online so they were ready when we got there. Will definitely get more while here. read more

Sandy Pony Donuts - Half dozen - Donuts Near Me - Chincoteague Island, Virginia

Sandy Pony is a Chincoteague staple! I picked up a dozen donuts for my family and considering it was a holiday weekend my order was out fast and the staff were patient and kind. You can't go wrong with any type of donut, but porky pony, cookies & crème, Charlie Brown, sea foam, and surfer dude were our favorites! read more

Sandy Pony Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Chincoteague Island, Virginia

Cake style donuts full of flavor!! We ordered a dozen donuts and were pleasantly surprised by the assortment they have. The donuts are served piping hot and dressed to order. They have unique combos like Oreo with banana and Mint chocolate chip. They write a list of what you are getting inside the box to help prepare you order when you get the donuts though you are not sure which is which. That was kinda a bummer. They do have ample parking located behind their building. read more

Tried a dozen donuts here. You order and pick up at window. Line doesn't move super quick, assuming they top at least some of the donuts made to order. They are very heavy cake type donuts, almost a little too greasy for me but that's just my preference. Everyone in my family was definitely not eating more than two of these being as heavy as they are. The toppings/flavors are creative and pretty good. I probably wouldn't go back if I was looking for donuts again, but if that's the type of donut you're looking for give it a shot. read more

Sandy Pony Donuts - surfer dude donut, acai bowl, iced coffee - Donuts Near Me - Chincoteague Island, Virginia

Yummy specialty doughnuts fried fresh to order. They are reminiscent of another chain, which we'll call the Shattered Dried Plum, and if we're comparing them, I think Sandy Pony doesn't quite measure up. My favorites were the Porky Pony and Cow Tail (hello, childhood candy favorite!). There are lots of fruity glazed flavors. It can get a little rich with the freshly fried doughnut and glazes that often melt into it. They also have coffee and açaí bowls; maybe we'll try those next time. Because they are fried to order, a long line can form, but they move as fast as humanly possible. Pro-tip: Like a few other places on the island, they have a cheaper price if you pay in cash rather than card. In this economy? Savings, please! read more

Delicious warm freshly glazed donuts and coffee! Many donut flavors to choose from but I'm a purist and prefer the straight forward cinnamon sugar glazed. They only offer take out via the exterior window. Can't go wrong with Sandy Pony Donuts read more

The donuts are the best cake donuts I have ever had, even when I was working in a donut shop. Served hot and full of topping! Yummmmm

Donuts were pretty great, they have a good substance to them they feels like real food compared to most donuts. They don't do filled donuts though, and the toppings are more sugary than having flavor. read more

Donuts are fantastic. Cow tails taste like funnel cake. Pretzels are my favorite. Better than duck donuts.

Some of the best donuts I have ever had! Great price! Made fresh to order! Soft and gooey! Great flavors! I could easily eat 6 because of the bite size, but it's perfect to try more flavors in an order. They have various locations, so I will be trying the one in Annapolis soon. read more

Amazing cake donuts made to order! A must try! This is not a "tourist inflated" review haha. We have a similar place here in Philly, but Sandy Pony Donuts are superior! Another reason to love Chincoteauge Island! Open April-October. I hear that their last weekend this year will be October 12-13. I'll be there for Oyster Fest...lucky me !!! read more

Thank you for existing! We have been on vacation for almost a week, and meals add up quick. I wanted a quick and affordable breakfast. The kids were not feeling it, and wanted more than just donuts. After picking out the donuts and coffee we retreated To the car with some grumpy faced kids. Then they tried the donuts! The strawberry, pretzel were warm. We all agreed these were the best donuts we ever had. Well done! Coffee was good as well. read more

These are great doughnuts! Cake doughnuts can be heavy and chewy, but these were surprisingly light and fluffy. Tons of flavors and toppings to choose from, so there is something for everyone. We got a dozen variety and have enjoyed them all! Love that they have a brick and mortar walk-up location in Chincoteague. I was expecting a wait once we ordered but we waited less than 5 minutes. Parking is in the back, and then take the wheelchair ramp to the front. Clearly labeled order and pick up windows make it an easy process to figure out. If you want them for breakfast though, get there early because we have driven by on many mornings and have seen a line! read more

Sandy Pony Donuts has grown up to a full fledged storefront on Maddox Blvd. Same great donuts and Açaí bowls but a quicker turn around on the orders with their bigger, permanent digs. They are open 7-2 pm so come early to beat the line. If you sleep in, know that it's worth the line wait. read more

Bottom Line: Fresh, warm cake donuts topped to suit any taste buds served out of a food truck. I'm not a huge donut fan but every now and again I'll try one to see if it suits me. I found my taste for Sandy Pony Donuts in Annapolis and I was excited to try the OG on my inaugural visit to Chincoteague. The concept at Sandy Pony Donuts is that they take a fresh cake donut and then top it with glaze and sprinkles to order. It took a little bit of time for me to study the menu but I landed on a chocolate glaze and chocolate sprinkles. I can't recall the name of that combination but all the donut names are fun. I also got coffee to wash it down. My husband and I enjoyed our donut snack al fresco in the parking lot where the Yep, I would bet on these ponies! read more

Sandy Pony Donuts - Porky pony and chocolate glaze - Donuts Near Me - Chincoteague Island, Virginia

Great place for an açaí bowl (no premade combos so make sure you know what you like) the doughnuts are "cakey." When we first arrived the window to order was closed (despite it being 810) and the line wasn't moving for the first ten minutes; once the order window opened the line went faster.. there is a wait for the donuts but it wasn't too bad for us; the açaí bowls took longer than the donut but it was a delicious treat for us once we got to the beach! Didn't see a public restroom or place to wash hands; but also didn't ask. read more

This was our first time visiting Sandy Pony Donuts, and the hype is true. These donuts are amazing! Even though we had a significant wait to get them, they were hot and very worth the wait. We ordered a variety, but we agreed that the Dirty Banana was the best of the dozen. We visited Sandy Pony on a Thursday, but I'm guessing the weekends are much busier so plan to wait awhile. It also seems that they have limited staff due to social distancing rules, so be patient. read more

Cute place. The service was good/friendly but that was the only positive. I got the acai bowl with strawberries, blueberries, and peanut butter drizzle. I thought it'd be "made to order" as advertised as in freshly blended and created but its not. Its essentially a frozen scoop of acai sorbet and then fresh ingredients are put on top. I had to wait for it to thaw to start eating because the spoon was about to break trying to dig into it. The acai itself tasted like what you get in the frozen section of a grocery store. As it thawed it got more and more sickly sweet, sticky, and syrupy. I ate enough to finish the toppings and then threw it away. Not at all what I expected and can't really call it freshly made. I also got the pony party donut. It came warm (which I didn't realize) but the glaze was just a melty mess all over. It basically turned into a soggy moist donut. I took two bites and threw that away as well because it wasn't worth the calories and couldn't get over the "wet bread" texture. Overall a disappointment compared to other acai bowls and donuts I've had and I wouldn't try them again but it was worth a shot. read more

I heard about the island famous doughnuts and insisted on trying. They're located off of Maddox and operate out of a food truck. Easy and safe in CoVId times. After scanning the menu my eyes perked up at the fruity pebble doughnut. I then added three others and coffee to complete purchase. The doughnut tasted like an Italian zeppole. It was hot, crunchy, and light. Each doughnut was decorated and designed for each flavor. I'm used to Dunkin' Donuts in NJ so these doughnuts blew Dunkin' out of the water! Bonus order: the coffee was outstanding. read more

Stayed at hotel down here, could've figure out way the line was so long at this place. Another person staying here said try the donuts. So we did, best donut I've had in a long time. Still warm and you pick your toppings. The best!!! read more

Excellent doughnuts. Really enjoyed the cakey texture. The line was always present every time we passed it, but moved quickly! Highly recommend. read more

Our donuts were fresh & tasty & so were the smoothies. Despite the wait. Worth it.

Sandy Pony Donuts are served fresh, warm, and are (surprisingly) filling despite being tiny! Doughnuts are fairly priced for their deliciousness and the Açai bowls are as well! Service was fast given how many people seemed to be working. Only critique? I wish there were tables and chairs outside to sit and enjoy your food. We ended up sitting in our trunk to eat, and that was just fine too. read more

If you give Sandy Pony Donuts more than 1 star, you must have the palate of a goat and not really care what you eat?! Let's start with the wait...way too long for dry donuts with nonexistent glaze and stale toppings. Yes the donuts are made "fresh" while you wait but that doesn't explain why they taste and look horrible?! Donuts are my jam but this place killed that for me! The prices are ridiculous for the size of the donuts, if you think you're going to get a normal size donut-you will be disappointed because they're actually more mini donuts but they don't say that! The pictures on their menu boards hanging on the wall definitely show something you won't be getting LOL My daughter was so excited but then almost cried with how disappointed she was when she saw the nonexistent glaze and then eat the stale cereal topping! My daughter (she's 10) said these don't look like the picture on the menu, where is the blue glaze that should have been on them?! Hmmm....the wax paper showed a very very thin blue glaze but it definitely didn't show on the donut at all. I was "excited" to see they had gluten-free free donuts, but they were just as bad as the original donut If you think they'll be like Duck Donuts, you will be disappointed in all the ways you love Duck Donuts I'm not even sure how this place has stayed in business. Curse you Sandy Pony Donuts of LIES! read more

Top of the line warm home made donuts, if you try it, you will never try another donut for again best in the world and all kinds of particular flavors and especially good is the gluten free. They have some sort of bowls available but I do not look at that I dig into the donuts. Sorry that's all I got. read more

Delicious and warm donuts that come in fun and tasty flavors. Slight line when I was there but I still got my donuts fast and fresh. Plenty of parking. read more

Had amazing donuts this morning. Almost no line, plenty of parking infront of the food truck which stays in one spot. Got the top dozen donuts and substituted the mint flavor. My girlfriend got the acai bowl and loved it- she is gluten free so she couldn't have the granola. I would suggest that the company invest in buying a box of dairy/gluten free donuts (even if it's not made by them) just to have on hand for people with allergies. Overall I was quite pleased with the donuts as they were warm and fresh. read more

The best donuts I've ever had. We were on vacation and finally timed it right to find this donut truck that makes your fried cake after order. They are served to you from the fryer with the topping you select. I chose glazed with coconut. Melted in my mouth. Glad I don't live closer, I'd be there too often. read more

I was very excited to visit sandy pony donuts, but was a bit disappointed in my experience. These are cake donuts served from a trailer which houses a mini donut making machine. The employees are extremely nice and the service was reasonably fast considering that get make your donuts on the spot after you order. This ensures that you should always have piping hot donuts, and that is extremely important with these. It's important to eat sandy pony donuts quickly while hot because they are grease sponges. They aren't crispy cake donuts, but are very soft and almost impossible to pick up as one. There are many, many flavor combinations . The flavors are pretty good in their distinctness. But the donuts aren't great. As usual for tourist areas, reviews are a bit inflated. But as of this writing there's no where else I know of getting an unhealthy breakfast in this area. We tried a few brick and mortar places without reasonable success. So I'm all in for going to this establishment for a donut and coffee, but don't be fooled: it's not going to be the best donut you've had unless you've been living under a donut rock. For me it's a step below grocery store donuts, but it's part of an experience in this area and is thus valuable on those grounds. read more

I've seen this place on numerous lists of must-visit spots on the island so I decided to give it a try for myself! I came early, around 8 am to beat the crowds. As I don't eat much, I ordered only 1 donut--The Porky Pony, which has honey glaze, cinnamon sugar, and bacon (because one can never turn down bacon as an option, am I right?!?). The donut was made fresh and it was nice and hot when I received it. The donuts here are a cake texture, which I personally prefer over yeast donuts. Not the best donut I've had, but I enjoyed it. This place seems to be the best spot to go on the island if you're having a donut craving; they have a lot of different combinations to try. read more
